Background: The detrimental effects of inotropes are well-known, and in many fields they are only used within a goal-directed therapy approach. Nevertheless, standard management in many centers includes administering inotropes to all patients undergoing cardiac surgery to prevent low cardiac output syndrome and its implications. Randomized evidence in favor of a patient-tailored, inotrope-sparing approach is still lacking.

Design: Single-center, randomized, double-blind clinical trial, and meta-analysis of randomized trials.
Objective: To investigate the effects of the administration of 4% albumin on lactated Ringer's, when compared with lactated Ringer's alone, in the early phase of sepsis in cancer patients.
Design: Single-center, randomized, double-blind, controlled-parallel trial.
Setting: A tertiary care university cancer hospital.
Introduction: In the current era of scarcity of kidneys available for transplantation, and chronic anti-HLA-mediated rejection as a main cause of graft loss, continuous demonstration of the long-term survival of grafts from living unrelated kidney donors (LURD) is paramount.
Objective: Analyze long-term kidney graft and patient outcomes using LURD, and compare them with living related donors (LRD).
Methods: We analyzed the 389 first renal transplantations performed with a living donor (281 LRD and 108 LURD), in a single center, from January 1998 through December 2007.
